Evaluation of care and clinical outcomes after the implementation of an electronic medical record system for type 1 diabetes management in Rwanda
Background Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are increasingly used to improve disease management. However, the impact on data quality, quality of care and clinical outcomes for type 1 diabetes (T1D) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has not yet been explored.Objective The aim was to evaluate the effect of implementing an EMR system on the quality of care and clinical outcomes for T1D individuals in Rwanda.Methods The Rwanda Diabetes Association c…
Hemoglobin levels and blood pressure are associated in rural black africans
OBJECTIVES: The association between blood levels of hemoglobin (B-hgb) and blood pressure (BP) has been widely investigated in Caucasians and Asians but there is a paucity of data in rural black Africans. The objective was to investigate the association between B-hgb and BP in a rural black African population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three districts in Kenya (Bondo, Kitui, and Transmara) with the inclusion of participant…
Abdominal obesity has the highest impact on metabolic profile in an overweight African population
WC and VAT thickness were the strongest anthropometric predictors for the metabolic profile in overweight adult Kenyans. WC is useful in clinical practice for the diagnosis of metabolically unhealthy fat accumulation in an African setting
Dietary patterns, food and macronutrient intakes among adults in three ethnic groups in rural Kenya
Objective To compare dietary patterns and food and macronutrient intakes among adults in three ethnic groups in rural Kenya. Design In the present cross-sectional study, dietary intake was estimated in adult volunteers using two non-consecutive interactive 24 h recalls. Dietary patterns were assessed from the number of meals and snacks per day and from the food items and major food groups registered, and their contribution to energy intake (EI) w…
